    I received this coupon in my inbox!

  2. sockmonkey

    Yes I got this email yesterday and will likely do this deal..thanks 🙂

  3. Smitha

    Received it. I was planning to go see if anything was available in Clearance section. Will the nail polish be counted as cosmetics? Wouldn’t hurt to try 🙂

  4. nancy wallace

    Yes i did receive a cvs beauty club $3.00 off coupon am going to cvs today to score the nail polish

  5. love2savemoney

    I recieved this, and I used it yesterday.
    4.99 – 3.00 – 2.00 ECB = .35 oop, and got 3.00 ECB!!
    I did not recieve the coupon for it, not in my region anyways 🙁
    But a good deal, I thought 🙂

  6. LTibbs

    I hear conflicting reports about using that coupon on the nail polish. Some are saying the nail polish is not considered a cosmetic and is beeping at cvs checkout. Any thoughts? I didn’t try it but thought it would make a great deal. Please let me know!

    • lcocoupons

      It worked for me yesterday…no beepage

    • Melissa

      I received a $3 off Revlon Color Cosmetic coupon from the coupon machine last week and I used it on the nail polish on Sunday. What DID beep for me was the $1 off Revlon Nail Polish insert coupon. The cashier put it through though. Yesterday, I used the Beauty Club email coupon, it did not beep and neither did the insert coupon. I think the reason the nail polish insert coupon beeps is it has to do with the way the items are coded and don’t match the insert. But anyway, I had no problem using the email coupon on the nail polish.

    For some reason, I do not get the Beauty Club emails. I called customer service back in March when I didn’t receive my birthday email and they were able to load the ECBs on my card. I verified my email address and they don’t know why I’m not receiving them. 🙁 I would definitely go buy more nail polish.

    • Newbie

      You get ECBs for your birthday? I didn’t know that. And I just had a birthday. I also didn’t get the Revlon coupon in my email.

      • Emily

        I don’t get any emails from them, either. Also, my purchases in the beauty club only accumulate erratically. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. The cashiers have no idea why.

      • Lauren

        Yes, I think it’s $3. Call 800-SHOPCVS and let them know and they will load the bucks on your card 🙂

        • Newbie

          Ok, thanks!

    • Melissa

      you need to make sure you have selected to receive the Beauty Club emails.

      • Newbie

        I am. I get CVS emails, just not from the Beauty Club. I went to the site to make sure and it said I was already signed up for it. :-/

    • Donna Mc.

      Lauren, you are not the only one. My birthday was in late March, and I called CS in May, because I never got anything for my birthday as they said I would. I never get any special CVS emails and never ever get these cool coupons. I hate CVS for this… that they give these things to some people and not everyone. Sucks big time.

  8. Karen H

    I am a beauty club member and did not receive the coupon via email (at least not yet). I am in CA.

    • Amy

      Same here… I’m in CALI and haven’t received an email.

      • Sue

        I’m in Reno, Nevada, and no coupon 🙁 yet

  9. Cassie

    Hmmm I saw this in one of the comments yesterday and was hoping to get the email but I haven’t. On the picture above it says exclusively for members so you would think we would all get it. Keeping my fingers crossed cause this is a great deal!

  10. Suszy

    Yes! I’m pretty excited because if I don’t paint my nails I bite them – badly. So this is the perfect sale for me! Can’t wait to use it today!

  11. gaspitsnoel

    Yea i haven’t received an email, but i’m skeptical I even will since I signed up for the club about two days ago. At the time I was unaware CVS even had a beauty club and wanted to take advantage of the 10% off pass, and now I’d really love some free nail polish!

  12. Laura

    I got it.

    • LTibbs

      any beeping of the register?

  13. Stacey

    I did this on Monday and it worked just fine.
    Yeay…more polish for my daughters holiday gift pile.

  14. wendy

    I got this and the 25% coupon, can I use both?

    • Melissa

      25% is only for non-sale items.

  15. Jen

    Got and used the coupon with no problem on nail polish. I didn’t have a man Q but that shouldn’t matter. I even tweeted @ cvs and was given the response that it was ok to use towards the polish!

  16. O. Rivera

    “Check your email preferences on your profile!” I was wondering why I wasn’t getting emails, I had selected not to receive them. I just changed my profile hopefully I’ll get deals in the future.

  17. Jessica

    I’m in CA and I received the email yesterday. I’m going to try and use it for the nail posh, I usually have no problems at my store.

  18. Christy

    Do you get the EBC rewards at the time of the transaction or it to be used on your next purchase?? I am new to this and have never used the rewards program so I am not sure how it works.. HELP please….

    • Melissa

      it prints on the bottom of your receipt after you make the purchase.

      • Christy

        so it is to use on your next purchase?

        • Melissa

          yes.

          • Christy

            Thanks a lot!!!

  19. shan

    I’m beauty club member and got the email June 20 and did the deal that day. Worked exactly as you said. SWEET!

  20. Laura

    I did this yesterday and it was fine. I bought two nail polishes for 4.99 each = 9.98, used 2 – $1/1 mfc q’s, so 7.98 – 3.00 Beauty Club Q= 4.98, then got $6.00 ECB, so $1.02 MM on two. I did this because I had two of the Revlon coupons left and found two colors I really liked. Had NO trouble at all!

  21. wendy

    I am so livid right now! I just went to CVS and planned on getting two polishes. And using the $3/1 CVS Q, two $1/1 MQs and a $4 ECB. The first coupon scanned fine but the second beeped. She gave it back to my and said I could only use one. I looked at the coupon and told her it says “one per purchase” and explained that a purchase is of course, per item purchsed, and that a transaction is the entire order. She argued with me and the manager next to her also argued that “sometimes purchase means transaction”. BS! I tried to argue my point but it was pointless. I had to break it up into 2 transactions. Should I contact corporate?

    • Annie

      Did you use the $3/1 CVS coupon for the second nail polish? It does indeed say “one per customer,” so that’s probably why it beeped. If you got to break it into 2 transactions (and you got the ECBs you wanted AND had a moneymaker), I don’t think you should contact corporate for the coupon flub but definitely for the way the cashier/manager treated you (if in a bad way at all). I find that sometimes it is better to have smaller ECBs broken down so you can roll transactions better… especially since CVS doesn’t do the coupon to item ratio like Walgreens. For example, last week I was fortunate enough to find Motrin in stock, so I bought all three of them at the same time and got back $9 ECB on the same receipt, which means I have to find something that is more than $9 with an ECB to reduce my OOP. I usually never spend more than $9 after coupons at CVS, so having three $3 ECBs to use is much more efficient for me! Whoops sorry for rambling haha but I hope you feel better about your situation!

      • wendy

        I did use the $3/1 as well, but since it’s a store Q you can stack. I’m just annoyed because they treated me like I’m an idiot and I know damn well that transaction and purchase do not mean the same thing.

        • Melissa

          are you talking about the $1 Revlon insert coupon that beeped? It beeped for me too. The problem is the way Revlon polish are coded don’t always match the insert coupon UPC. Some it comes up not found or no match. Either you have a good cashier that understands you can stack or you get a cashier that tries to tell you otherwise.

  22. amochamommy

    yes I got this coupon AND a 25% off any non sale item.so Im going to try to work a deal with that too (on something I need)

  23. Rebecca Z.

    Yep, I received this coupon and did this deal yesterday. I’m in MI, if it makes a difference. It didn’t however, count towards my beauty club purchase. (5ECB for every 50 in purchases) this would have put me over the top, but it didn’t count for some reason. Maybe it’s only makeup??

    • Dmkapotsy

      It should count but with my account it takes 2 to 3 days to show up. I have bought Revlon nail polish like this before and it did count a few days later.

      • kitty

        all the cosmetics item such as Nail Polish, Make-up, Fragrance/Perfume, Shampoo, Body Wash, and even Hair Color all count towards Beauty Purchases

        when the season changes happen meaning for the CVS 4 months saving/spending Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter then the update on the Beauty (which i have personally noticed as i keep track of those cosmetics items i buy to see when the beauty $$ balance adds up) takes 2 days normally but

        now that summer has or was taking affect the time it takes 3 days to Update the Beauty purchases balance.

        I bought on June 19th, 2011

        2 Pantene 2/$6.97
        1 Garnier Cleanser $5
        Total: $11.97

        this was updated on June 22, 2011

        usually it would update on June 21st.

        will sorry i went on but ever night i keep track as i wanted to know when the beauty balance would add up as its nice to know this little detail i hope this helps out and also i wonder if any one else noticed this little detail.

  24. Lindsey

    I got it in northern Indiana.

  25. mamaniff

    BOO. I have not received any emails for ExtraCare since June 9, and I didn’t get this Revlon one, even though I’m party of the beauty club. ARGH. I have such trouble with emails from them. I even deleted and re-created an online account with a different email address to get them going again in April. Worked for awhile, but now seems to be having issues again. *le sigh* (I’m in ND if that matters.)

  26. Annie

    I found this in the fine print:
    ” †Valid in-store only on Revlon cosmetics (includes face, eye or lip cosmetics). ExtraBucks offer limit of 10 per household. Offer valid 5/29/11 thru 7/2/11. ”

    Not sure if nail polish falls under “face, eye, or lip”… but it doesn’t say ONLY includes? Hmm… what do you all think?

  27. Rina

    I am a beauty club member and did not receive this coupon. 🙁

    • Alison

      Ditto! 🙁

  28. Lisa

    Anyone know if you can use more than one of the beauty club $3 off coupons? I know it lets you print multiple, but how many can you actually use? I used it today, but have another printed out, can I use it later tonight, or tomorrow?

    • A

      it’s linked to your card so if you use it another day, it will say already used.

    • Katie

      you cannot print more of each. well i guess you can print all you want, but you are just wasting ink. its linked to your card and will only let you use one per card

  29. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I got the coupon.

  30. Nancy

    Found the Revlon polish @ 75% off at my CVS. Paid 1.25 for each one (bought 3).
    1.25*3=3.75, used the $3 off cvs coupon. Paid $0.75, and I received 9 ECB. An awesome money maker!

  31. Alicia

    I never receive any coupon emails from cvs, I did the first few months I signed up but not any in the last couple yrs. Any suggestions on how to get them?

  32. Wendy

    So tonight was one of my best nights ever at cvs. I got 6 garnier face products 1 zyrtec and two 84 count boxes of pampers and paid out of pocket 26.27. I also got back 10.00 worth of ecb, so really I paid 16.27. I had 37 dollars in manufacture coupons and 16 ecb. This was awesome one package of diapers is almost 25 bucks!!

    • kitty

      did u buy 3 Garnier face product or 6?

      cuz the cheapest was the $5 items and the limit on that deal was 1 buy $15 Garnier product get $5 ECB.

      if u bought 6 u didn’t get it another as u reached ur limit with 3.
      though the deal on zyrtec was last week was it not? buy $5.99 get $5.99 ECB back?

  33. Wendy

    Kitty,

    I lost my cvs card after I bought the first set of garnier so the lady was sweet enough to let me use those ecb with my new card and I had a rain check for the zyrtec. The night shift manager was so cool I had been in several times to buy the zyrtec and they didn’t have any well he was cleaning and found one and saved it for me. I thought was so nice of him.

  34. Selene

    I didn’t get the email coupon and I enrolled in the club.
